The edge 0iE the tip is beveled as at 28 to lessen a' display of Wear onthe tip, since the Wear usually occurs at the edge, and by having ituniformly beveled, theeffeet of the Wear Iwill not be so apparent.

ln the modification shown in Fig. 7, the tip 29 may be substituted forthe tip 22, the said tip 29 being of metal with spurs 30 formed thereonwhich prevents slipping. Preferably, the tipl 22 is made of rubber,although any other suitable material may be employed in this connection.
